But, because the wax isn't resilient, you do need something to keep it from rocking. Personally, I usually make do with a penny, dime, or a nickel, giving me three different thickness items that I don't have to go to the store for. FWIW, a toilet normally won't leak until there's a backup in the pipe (waste, at least). Now, sewer gas, there won't be much, but if there's a gap, some will.

What happens when private equity goes public?
Henry Kravis, co-founder of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, has seen the industry that he pioneered in the 1970s evolve to manage some $2.4 trillion.
His firm, KKR, has developed far beyond traditional private equity. It is now a large investment firm with diversified businesses that includes capital markets and offices around the globe.
It now manages businesses that generate more than $200 billion annually, has more than $62 billion under management and employs nearly 1 million people.
It's a long way from when Kravis founded the company with his cousin George Roberts in 1976. Back then, the business was known as "bootstrapping," long before it became "leveraged buyout" in the 1980s, and morphed into the more genteel named "private equity" in the 1990s.
Now KKR and its rivals, which for years preached the benefits of private, long-term capital, are publically traded companies.
But the transition is not without challenges.
As the industry that Kravis built is in the public spotlight now that former Massacusetts governor Mitt Romney , the founder of rival Bain Capital, is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee , it is facing a crossroads about both its image and role in the economy .
And with so many of the industry's investors — pension funds and other institutional investors — confronting their own fiscal crises, Kravis will offer his perspective on the looming troubles facing the nation and perhaps offer some solutions Wednesday at "Delivering Alpha," the second-annual CNBC-Institutional Investor conference.

Our Klout Stars series highlights top influencers and how they got to where they are today.
Sumaya Kazi is the founder & CEO of Sumazi, a service built on top of Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter that empowers your network to introduce you to the people who can change your world. Sumazi was selected from more than 1,200 international startups to compete at the prestigious TechCrunch Startup Battlefield where it won the Omidyar Network award for "Startup Most Likely to Change the World."
Sumaya is an internationally recognized innovator, leader, speaker and award-winning entrepreneur who has recently been recognized by Reuters and Klout as one of the "Top 50 Most Influential Executives on the Web" — the second woman behind Oprah. She has also been recognized by BusinessWeek as one of America's "Best Young Entrepreneurs," CNN as a "Young Person Who Rocks," Silicon Valley Business Journal as a "Woman of Influence" and by UTNE Reader Magazine as one of "50 Visionaries Changing Your World."
Previously, Sumaya served as the senior social media manager at Sun Microsystems, where she was responsible for the global strategy and implementation of social media. While at Sun Microsystems, Sumaya founded her first startup, The CulturalConnect. It grew from one weekly e-magazine to five weekly e-magazines and published more than 800 interviews of amazing young professionals in the for-profit and not-for-profit industries to a readership in more than 100 countries.
Sumaya has a strong passion for progress and has been deeply committed to the nonprofit community. She has served as a mentor for BUILD, a nonprofit social venture that empowers underprivileged and under-resourced high school students with an education in entrepreneurship. She is also on the steering committee for the San Francisco Muslim Women's Giving Circle and on the advisory council for Jolkona Foundation (a Bangladeshi led non-profit). Sumaya graduated from UC Berkeley. She is a Bangladeshi-American residing in San Francisco, California. You can learn more about Sumaya on her website. You can also subscribe to her on Facebook or follow her on Twitter
1. How did you get started in social media?
I studied marketing and strategic planning at UC Berkeley. While I didn't know exactly what my career path was going to be at the time, I knew I was fascinated with the marketing industry.
After graduation, I spent a year at a high-tech PR agency. There, I found myself increasingly frustrated with mainstream media, which inspired me to start my first company. The CulturalConnect started as a media platform dedicated to young professionals around the world. It spotlighted amazing stories of young business and nonprofit professionals with the goal of re-defining what success looks like in different ethnic diasporas.
At age 22, I was recruited as the youngest manager in the Global Communications division at Sun Microsystems. My day-to-day role was initially to support our executive management as well as handle the analytics and measurement for my division.
However, because of my experience building the CulturalConnect and using the tools of that time — MySpace, Friendster and Facebook (which was only for college students then) — I understood early on how businesses could benefit social media platforms. I became the crazy kid who kept coming up with all of these crazy ideas of how Sun could use Myspace or Facebook or YouTube for their business objectives. My vice president didn't exactly know what opportunities there were with social media at the time, but she liked my ideas and we decided that I would be a social media manager; so I became one of the first social media managers that existed at a Fortune 500 company.
I started driving strategy and implementation of social media just for my division and then the program quickly grew to support social media for the entire global company. I led social media for over 5 years.
In 2009, Sun was acquired by Oracle. I began consulting startups and large companies on their social media strategy and the following year after realizing there was a huge gaping hole in how individuals and businesses connect with the people they need, I decided to start Sumazi.
While Sumazi was still an idea on a napkin, we were selected from more than 1,200 companies to compete at the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield, where we won the Omidyar Network award for "Startup Most Likely to Change the World." We got interest from our first angel investor, one of the founding team members at YouTube, and I then decided to quit consulting and start working on Sumazi full time.
2. In what ways does social media play into your current job or industry? Do you have any examples?
Sumazi is building the technology for the next generation of social media. Sumazi is built entirely on top of existing social networks: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and soon mobile. Sumazi is in the business of making life-changing introductions. From my experience at Sun Microsystems and the Cultural Connect, I saw a lot of the pain points on how businesses and organizations can connect with their users, as well as tap into their users' networks. From a consumer's perspective as well as a user's perspective, I want to be able to leverage my networks and my extended networks to help me at the time of need. Sumazi is really focused on solving these problems.
3. What does influence mean to you? Who influences you the most online, and why
If someone is influential to me, I either care about or respect their opinions around a topic of interest. It carries more weight in my sphere. Someone can be influential in my life, even if they don't have a lot of friends or followers. I believe influence is a combination of importance to somebody's life, impact and respect for their opinions. They might not always say something that I agree with, but I respect their opinions enough to consider that an influence to me.
I respect and have followed people like Tony Hsieh (Founder of Zappos), Michael Arrington (Founder of TechCrunch), Padmasree Warrior (CTO of Cisco), Rania Al Abdullah (Queen of Jordan) and Oprah. There's probably another 100 entrepreneurs or nonprofit leaders that I also follow closely online that I consider influential to me.
4. What recent social media trends do you think are interesting or helpful?
I've definitely seen a trend with companies focusing on the intersection of social, consumer and mobile technologies. More and more, new companies are being built just on the mobile device and never needing a web component. I'm also seeing a new crop of social media companies that are trying to figure out how to make use of all the rich social data that exists today to help facilitate smarter decisions about new connections and purchases.
The innovation in the social media world is so quick to change that it's fascinating to see how fast this space is growing.

For his achievements on the football field and basketball court, Gray has been named the Sparks Tribune's 2012-2013 Male Athlete of the Year. The award, which is chosen by the Tribune sports staff, goes to the top senior athlete from the three Sparks-area high schools: Reed, Spanish Springs and Sparks.
On the gridiron, Gray took home the recognition of the North's Offensive Player of the Year to go along with the High Desert League's offensive POY, first-team wide receiver and second-team return specialist. He then followed that up by being named to the HDL's second team for basketball, despite recovering from a broken collar bone suffered in the D-I North football semifinals.
While the injury brought a sudden end to Gray's football season, in which he racked up 1,329 receiving yards while hauling in 93 receptions and accounting for 20 touchdowns, it also sidelined him for the first portion of the Reed boys basketball season. Despite missing the first half of the schedule, Gray returned to the Raiders for the majority of league play as he helped the Blue and Gold to the No. 3 seed in the High Desert League before it lost its playoff opener at Galena. The senior finished the season averaging just over 10 points in the 13 games he played, the third highest average for the Raiders.
Gray said the injury was difficult for him to take, but the senior kept his head up and contributed to his teams in other ways.
"It was hard to be out and just have to watch my team, especially playing for state against Bishop Gorman, one of the best teams in the country, and not being able to play them," Gray said. "I still wanted to help us win, so I did what I could from the sidelines.
"I was teaching a couple of guys my spot, like what to do on plays and what routes they had. I had to be a more vocal leader since I couldn't play. I'm more of a on-the-field leader, like I show by example, but I had to become a vocal leader and be there mentally for my team instead of physically."
That determination to help his team did not surprise Gray's coaches.
"He is so hard working and extremely talented and athletic, and on top of that, he is still humble," Reed basketball coach Dustin Hall said. "He was a varsity starter for three years and there was not one time that he complained about his role. You ask him anything and he'll do it. He's just tough as nails. And taking all of that into consideration, he's an even better person than he is an athlete."
Gray's football coach, Ernie Howren, shared in those sentiments as well, highlighting the talent Gray displayed on every snap.
"You think back to all the different times you watched Devin compete, and I think the thing that stood out the most for me was just how easy Devin made it look," Howren said of Gray's raw athleticism. "I think that's why it's so fitting to call him Male Athlete of the Year because he is so athletic and he just makes the game look so easy.
"It looked like he wasn't even giving half the effort of other guys who were trying to defend him. He is so flawless in what he does. That put him at a different level than everybody else on the field."
Of all the amazing plays Gray made, Howren said the one that sticks out in his mind was an inside slant route that Gray took 49 yards for a touchdown in the Raiders' regular season finale at Spanish Springs.
"He made the rest of the field look like it was standing still. It was just him running around out there," Howren said. "He did that a lot all season long. He's a special player and a special person."
Hall said that if it were not for Gray's injury, the senior probably would have had the same type of impact for the Raiders basketball squad.
"I spent a lot of nights not sleeping when he was hurt," Hall said. "Going into the year, we had high hopes and I anticipated him being one of the best players in our league. Obviously when he broke his collar bone, it was a huge shock to our team and it set him back. When he came back though, he was an instant contributor. If he wouldn't have broke his collar bone the sky would have been the limit and I definitely think he would have been a first team all-region caliber player."
While Gray's athletic abilities make up one half of his game, it is his intelligence that makes up the other.
"One thing that I think gets missed with Devin a lot is the football IQ that he has. It was as high as any athlete that we've had," Howren said. "There were a lot of things we could do with Devin that we could not do with other football players because IQ wise on the field, he was just a level above everybody else. So it wasn't just his athleticism. It was also his football mind that set him apart from everybody."
Gray said his success on the gridiron and hardwood was a combination of factors.
"I've always been raised around sports," Gray said. "The first time I shot my first ball I was around 2 years old. I just always liked it. I always looked up to my dad and he raised me around sports, so it was kind of natural for me I guess. I think some of it is just in my genes when you look at my dad and my family, but there is a lot of hard work that I put in, too. I'm always working hard and trying to get better. I want to be the best at everything I do."
With graduation just around the corner, Gray will continue his football career at Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif. It is a chance that Howren said Gray will make the most of.
"There's no doubt he's ready for the next level," Howren said. "He'll be a one-and-done. He'll be there for one year and then he'll be gone after that because he'll get a full-ride at a four-year university. He's going to go on to a big school after he shows his talents at the JC level."
Gray said he plans to play with the Wolverines for a year or two before hopefully moving on to a bigger school. Regardless though, he is just thankful for the chance to keep playing.
"It means everything to still be able to play football and have it be a part of my life," Gray said. "Sports is pretty much my whole life. I've been playing it since I could walk and it's a great opportunity to play at the next level. I just want to keep it going."

Report: Unlocking the Value of Personal Data: From Collection to Usage, February 2013
Unlocking the Value of Personal Data: From Collection to Usage, prepared in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group, examines the need for new approaches in the policies which enable the managing of personal data in ways that are flexible, adaptive and contextually driven. The report highlights outcomes from a nine month, multistakeholder, global dialogue on how the principles for using personal data may need to be refreshed to ensure they protect the rights of individuals, unlock socio-economic value and are fit for the complexities of a hyperconnected world.
A key insight from the report notes that the age of Big Data creates both new opportunities and risks, particularly as they relate to the privacy of individuals. The report highlights the need to shift to policy frameworks focused on the usage of data (rather than pre-emptively governing the data itself), the importance of context, and the need to find new ways to engage the individual. As it relates to engaging the individual, moving beyond current notice and consent practices is identified as one of the key priorities for global leaders to focus upon.
The report calls for the importance of establishing an updated set of principles and the means to uphold them in a hyperconnected world. In this light, there is a need to raise awareness on how technology can play a role in upholding principles by allowing permissions to flow with the data. Lastly, the report calls for greater evidence and "learning labs" for understanding the impact of when policies are implemented in the real-world.
In creating this report, the World Economic Forum convened a global dialogue through a series of workshops across Asia, Europe and the US on the principles to unlock the value of personal data.
A general consensus emerged from this dialogue that the rules governing personal data need to be flexible enough to enable new business models, accommodate technology evolution, enable user trust and meet the requirements for user transparency. Shared principles have been a core part of the governance of personal data for many decades. Principles can serve as the anchor points for global governance and strengthen accountability, predictability and trust.
For more information, please contact email@example.com
Report: Rethinking Personal Data: Strengthening Trust, May 2012
Rethinking Personal Data: Strengthening Trust examines how the appropriate use of personal data can create enormous value for governments, organizations and individuals. Produced in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group, the report provides a multistakeholder perspective on how the potential value of personal data can be unlocked to achieve new efficiencies in business, tailor and personalize new products, help respond to global challenges and empower individuals to engage in social, commercial and political activities more effectively.
The report is structured to foster dialogue around some of the following questions:
- Who owns personal data?
- How do we protect individual privacy?
- How should rules for usage be formed and what is the role of context in establishing permissions?
- How should organizations that use personal data be held accountable, both for securing data and for adhering to the agreed-upon rules?
- What is the role of regulators given the global flow of personal data?
The report highlights that a declining sense of trust throughout the personal data ecosystem is jeopardizing the long-term potential to deliver socioeconomic value. High-profile data security breaches, rampant identity theft, a general lack of transparency in how personal data is monetized, and an absence of globally harmonized policies for privacy and the use of data all compound to create an unstable ecosystem. Companies are unclear about what they can and cannot do with personal data and are either standing on the sidelines or forging ahead with an unclear understanding of liabilities and the potential for negative impact on their reputations and brands. Governments are proposing various laws and regulations to protect privacy while also aiming to encourage innovation and growth.
The Rethinking Personal Data initiative is a multi-year initiative focused on increasing the trust, transparency and control individuals have over the personal data made by and about themselves. Launched in 2010, its intent is to bring together private companies, public sector representatives, end-user privacy and rights groups, academics and topic experts to deepen the collective understanding of how a principled, collaborative and balanced personal-data ecosystem can evolve.
Update: Recent Dialogue on Unlocking the Value of Personal Data – Balancing Growth & Protection
Since the launch of the Rethinking Personal Data: Strengthening Trust report, the World Economic Forum has convened a global dialogue through a series of workshops across Asia, Europe and the US on the principles to unlock the value of personal data. For more information, please find the summaries of recent events held at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions and at a Brussels workshop.
A general consensus is emerging from this dialogue – there is a need to ensure that rules governing personal data flow are flexible enough to enable new business models, accommodate technology evolution, enable user trust and meet the requirements for user transparency. Shared principles have been a core part of the governance of personal data for many decades. Principles can serve as the anchor points for global governance and strengthen accountability, predictability and trust.
The values underpinning data protection principles are still applicable in many ways, but do not work effectively in today's world. In particular, notice and consent is an area not offering real effective choice to individuals to ensure a permissioned, trusted flow of data. A recalibration of existing principles to reflect the current and future environment is needed given the significant shifts in technology and the way data is collected and used; it has been decades since the original Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) were written.
The dialogue is structured around the three key areas highlighted in the report: protection and security, rights and responsibilities for using data, and strengthening accountability and enforcement. Within this, stakeholders have focused on two groups of principles as being most important to revisit: openness and individual participation, and collection limitation, purpose specification and use limitation.

SOUTH KOREAs BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN
The triumphant raising of the flag of victo~ over Seoul affords a good
opportunity to appraise the success of the United Nations' Korean campaign.
Certainly it must go dovm as one of the most brilliantly executed of its kind
in history. No instance comes to mind in which forces caught by surprise and
so drastically outnumbered and outgunned at the beginning have been able so
~uickly to fall back in orderly fashion, stabilize and regroup, stave off f~~tical
asssult, and then complete an end run to encircle the ene~. The rout of the
co~munist armies from South Korea adds another star to the record of the old master,
General ~~acArthur, for it was he who engineered the strategy for the whole campaign.
It has been said that the amphibious landing at Inchon represented more
daring than brilliance. In a narrow sense that. may be true - favorable condi. tions
prevail at Inchon only a few days during the year because of the gigantic 30-foot
tides. If the invasion hac failed, the cost might well have been great. But the
essence of great generalship is knowing when to take chances; generals who play
everything safe never achieve triumphs.
The campaign is the more remarkable because of the widespread misapprehension
and misinformation about it during the early days. The world was caught off
guard by an in~elligence failure, and in the first shocked days the retreat,
fought inch by inch, frightened both laymen and news correspondents. But as the
United States began to pour in troops from Japan - first mere battalions, then
divisions -the r~treat soon hecame a planned withdrawal. Perhaps the most noteworthy
showine of all was that of the South Koreans, who fought with real valor
after they had ti~q to recover their wind. Incidentally, Allied forces never
did fall back to the final line ~ the generals thought they might have to strike
as the last ditch in holding the Pusan perimeter. If there was 9J1Y Allied n11merical
superiority toward the end, it was only because of the fantastically large ene~
casual ties.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 49, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
In thj_s campaign I want to, if I may, speak not as a Democrat but as an
American. There are those who are rather shortsighted; some may be a little
more absorbed with their own desires thsn they ought to be, but basically we
all want the same thing. I think we have got to sit doym very realistically
and see what it will take, and then we have got to proceed and do the things
that are necessary. Peace is not cheap, but war is ·e lot more expensive. Mr.
Hoffman testified some months ago before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
I belie,re, that the cost of the war, when it is finally added up, will be over
$1,350,000,0001 000-that is one trillion three hundred and fifty billion dollarso
So in terms of money there is no comparison between what war costs and what it
will cost to build an enduring peace. But, we have to build it; we have to build
it brick by brick, and stone by stone. What those of us who pointed to the importance
of Korea have said has been borne out. I think in terms of peace and
in terms of security for our own children. Let us learn by it. Let us not spend
our time in ~criminationso Let us profit from our lessons, and let us all,
together, wisely plan for the future, a future that has strength in it; a future
that is mapped along courageous and hopeful lines, and let us rid ourselves of
the fear that is every day being deliberately injected by some into the bloodstream
of America. We have nothing to fear except our failure to face facts and
to take the action they call for.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 49, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
I deserve no credit for ~ war record. 1 I feel deeply grateful that I was
privil eged to serve ~ country. The men who really deserve credit for their war
records are the men who never have returned from war. I do not believe that any
candidate for politic~l office should ever presume upon his war record.
I feel very humble in comparison with the men, in all branches of the
service, who died and were never able to return. In comparison with them,
my contributions have been very small tTldeed.

or course, I was the author of the ).fansfield Report on China.
Everyone in Xontana knorrs that and rq oppcnent admits he has lmawn
about it for five loog years. Who sent you the Report on China? I
did and what did you sq or do about it? Nothing -nothing at all

nothing. Why not? Tell the people of Montana or doo 't you think

You s~ I nendorsed and blessed the Chinese Communists even
though I did not visit their territory in North China? That •s

He states am Fo told me that a connection between Russia and the
Chinese Cotm:nmists might reoccur .following World War II and then says 1
"a.tt no where in his Report does Mike Mansfield pass the warning on to
Coogress and the President". The very Report that my opponent
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 51, Folder 49, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
quotes f'ran was the Report I made publicly to Coogress and \1hich has
always been a public document since January 16, 1945. AnYbodY could
read it all at any tint3 bocause it is in the Congressional Record.
He states that m:1 Report 1n 1945 was respt11sible far Truman forcing
Commrm1sts into Chiang's Government or no further aid would be extended.
This, I must admit, 1s news to me because I did not think I wielded such
power until rq opponent switched that responsibility an to 100 . Needless
to say, it is false.

of the Japs, disarmament, and repatriation of Japanese .
3. 501000 llarines were sent to ltortb China to hold tre

4. By end of 1945 we equipped 39 divisions of Chiang's

6. We repatriated 3 million Japs out of China.
7. We gave Chiang 171 naval vessels .
8. We sent a naval mission to Ts1ngtao.

J.tr opponent says that we invited North Korean Communists to commit
aggression and that then we completely reversed our policy and decided
on intervention. I did not know that we invited North Korean aQression

All in-camera jpegs...
|Previous news story Next news story
We've added a gallery of real-world and studio images to our Canon EOS 6D preview. The EOS 6D won't be available until at least December but we've been able to borrow a pre-production model for which we've been allowed to post samples. We've shot with the camera in a series of lighting conditions, using a variety of lenses, including the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM. We've also shot an ISO sequence under challenging low-color-temperature artificial light. Click the links below to see how Canon's latest full-frame challenger performs.
The camera used for this gallery was pre-production, and image quality should be considered 'Beta' standard.

All in-camera jpegs...
This is shot with 24-70 II..I guess we have to wait for RAWs then.
I don't know if Canon is in trouble or not, but at least there's proof that 6D exists... can't wait to try one
Please DPreview, provide more portrait under high contrast light situations without fill flash. It's great to see how the sensor handles those situations. And while you're at it, can you provide RAW files for us to see how much Dynamic Range we can extract from each sample file you upload? Thanks, I hope you consider it.
Yes, RAW is essential.
May be that there is no software available that can open 6D RAW.
The camera looks very promising but the jpeg compression/noise reduction in the samples is a bit wonky. Not unusual for on-line, small-file samples I guess but it would be more helpful if the compression was lower!
As always, you download the original, out-of-camera JPEGs by clicking on the helpfully-labelled 'Original' link.
I've done that - the images may be full size but the files are small, i.e. not many megabytes, thus there is much jpeg compression going on.
I think that guys taking the pictures should be more careful.
I think that without exception all of them have showed to us some of their bad bad moments.
Or perhaps they need a photo editor in DPR...
I mean that is not appropriate, no matter if you want to make the shooting as everyday or average user produced, to post, sometimes at least, no good pics at all....
As usual, the 10 years old CMOS is kicking ass and taking names again! The OOC jpegs are sharper with tons of detail than the competitions raw to jpeg files and that WOW Canon colors.......Sad day for SoNikon fanbase today, no wonder D600 is giving away stuffs like a free bag, battery, sd card, 100$ rebate, 20$ Adobe discount, 300$ Epson discount, wit swab and a lifetime oil filter change for free! I heard the 6D has a warewolf eyesight able to see and nail focus in total darkness.
Heard not tried..
What kind of picture u want to take in total darkness?
The usual battle of the Worlds...
The tribes continue to misbehave...
Seriously? That's what you thought from the smudgy low-light samples like IMG_0381. Canon taking names? I don't know about that, perhaps they are smoking something.
But seriously dude, for someone so confident in your favorite brand, you seem to spend a lot of time thinking (and talking) about Nikon gear and the D600.
@Viva, funny you are so clueless on Nikon's pricing policy, where retailers and dealers cannot deviate much from the recommended retail price. They can, however, offer freebies and such to differentiate them from the other retailers. As an owner of both brands (and a Lumix) they each have strengths and weaknesses. All you do is b!tch about everything Nikon and really don't add any value to any discussion here. If your flamebaiting and attention seeking is what rocks your boat, then troll away...
One would imagine your beloved D600 looks fantasic in every sample image... There's oodles of NR at work... only problem is its not as good as 6D's high ISO capabilities...
I just wonder whether you actually formunlate your opinions about how "great" Nikon's IQ is, based upon your eyes... or the farcical scores DXO provides...
And as for your dynamic range arguements... do we actually buy these camera's to primarily shoot shadowy / dark / dingy / crepuscular environments... If your answer is yes - then feel free to continue ranting about the D600's astronomical DR...
Opinions are very divided on the sharpness vs smearing of detail.
We need to look at specific features to see where the noise reduction software or the lens reduces precision.
IMG_0111 the second dark pink thorn to the left of the highest one is very sharply rendered and others below it too. beautiful colours with dark green background.
IMG_0287 the white building is very sharp and detailed in the center, the red tractor's wheel and the surrounding dark trimmed hedge are blurred like everything towards the edge of the wide angle lens.
What about skine tones and white balance? Is the 6D as good as the 5D III with skin tones and WB? It would be nice to add the portrait of someone...
A low ISO natural light portrait would always be nice to see.
While Nikon has a problem with cold green tint,
Canon, often more accurate with warm colour reproduction and white balance, typically produces green patches in faces.
Portraits are on their way.
Why are none of the real-world photos ISO 100? There clearly is 50 available...
Because on a bright, contrasty day I was shooting with Highlight Tone Priority turned on, for extra highlight range. It's limited to ISO 200. Meanwhile ISO50 is a 'pulled' setting with limited highlight range (it's clipping even in the controlled light studio ISO series), so not ideal for general use.
I see. I was checking the exif for whether HTP was on or not, but evidently Opera doesn't show that field (which I recall seeing in my photo editors).
Given how badly underexposed most shots are, the noise is very impressive. Someone should learn to not be a slave to having absolutely zero blinkies on the right.
Exposure is subjective
I agree, exposure is subjective. However, these photos were made to show off the camera's image qualities, which could be massively improved upon by more exposure. That said, you really need to be shooting RAW to get the best out of it.
Remember guys ,this is a beta camera .
You can see the single cells of the decorative purple-green leaf in the water drop pearl in the center :-)
The macro detail reaches microscopic levels under the magnification of the droplet at iso3200 with very little and fine grained noise ...
Sorry , but I don't see it . Maybe it's me or my monitor but to my eyes it looks rather soft . Look at the image outlines . They are soft .
it's your monitor. When you zoom into the middle you see a lot of fine detail retained. Very impressive for ISO-3200.
The soft water droplets are due to the limited DoF
It's not monitor. Canon always preferred not to over sharp images. Maybe a bit more.
Never had to improve it. The opposite par (Nikon) was asleep for 3 years , so they didn't have a strong competitor...
And it is the sensor too...
Note that all mid range and above Canons the last 6 years are quite sufficient staff...
As usual we are jumping the boat . We all gonna have to wait for the full review and see what is causing what we are seeing .
Colors are nice , sharpness is subpar (noise reduction) What surprise me was the dynamic range which is rather low for a full framer . It's quite possible that the low dynamic range and lack of sharpness maybe be cause both by rather strong noise reduction . Colors are kept very nicely at high iso , better then the Nikon d600 . Saturation is rather higher at base iso , this might be giving the pics higher contrast at high iso , more then Nikon. We should remember that Nikon is more conservative then Canon in rather all parameters at default . This could be the differences which some are observing and mentioning .
jpegs with noise reduction ON.....
heavy NR as it´s seems... judging from the bad sharpness.
no, canon atypically leaves sharpness "down" on jpgs making them look fairly soft OOC.
where have you been? that's been canon's jpg engine for years.
use something that isn't the standard picture style and the jpg's pop more.
Unbelievable!, I cant see any noise at Iso 800! I've been working on some old Velvia 100 scans today and ISO 3200 on this camera has considerably less noise/grain! In the 35mm format we have never had it so good!
well the JPG engine is smearing the noise to death i guess.
looking at IMG_0164 @ iso 200 im not impressed by the detail rendering.
that is why i find JPG samples mosty useless.
@Gothmoth. The detail is still much better than the slides I have been looking at, and personally I shoot raw, so no problem. If I really need more detail I default to 5x4 film.
Gothmoth, there are the characteristic Canon purplered-green moire patches on the sunny tarmac visible in that picture. The glass structure seems sharp and detailed. Are you speaking about the pine trees ?
Is that so? Canon with 1Ds had that some 7-8 years ago...
As well as softness and a slightly washed images mainly because the CMOS sensor...
That shots are absolutely great, the high ISO shots are amazingly clean. If I had the chose between D600 and this Canon 6D, the Canon was for me the way to go. I think that these pictures are a lot better than all I have seen from D600 yet.
Canon high ISO shots are always out of this world when you look at jpegs because of the awesome high ISO NR algorithm that Canon uses. When you look at RAWs things change and that too quite dramatically.
Not bad at all but to me, these are some of the darkest images I've seen. Strong contrast and saturation.
I wonder what can cause that.
um, exposure.
low dynamic range and exposing for the highlights....
I figured it would look like 5dm3 images, im glad to see that it really is. Could be a good lowlight sidekick if you can get past the sd card among other things.
We all better get used to SD as the new standard card. My guess is that the 1DX will be the last strictly CF body.
Are these JPEGs straight out of the camera? Any kind of PP?
Yes. Unless we specify otherwise, our sample galleries are always straight-out-of-camera JPEGs.
Impressive hi ISO!
All the rest is in the photographer's hands and knowledge.
The high iso performance looks impressive. The images do look a bit "flat" i.e. non-dimensional, but they are samples so who knows. Great time to be an FX shooter these days!
Out of camera JPGs remember. Flatness comes from lack of fine tuned contrast.
These samples look great! Really, very clean with great colors. In many ways this would be the perfect camera for me. Certainly some things held back from the 5D Mark III but most I can live with. Only one thing will keep me from buying it: The 1/4000th top shutter speed! Much like the Nikon D600, why in the heck would you cripple a $2,000+ camera by not having a top speed of 1/8000th?! Most people won't use such high speeds often. But many lesser cameras have it. No excuses for this!
the d600 does not haev 1/8000 either. 1/8000 is going to be a very, very rare usage item. If anything it would be used by mistake with the photographer using ISO 3200 in bright sunlight or something. But with how good auto ISO is these days.... it should not be an issue.
sorry but the low iso samples look not great at all.
they look exactly like what i would expect from a 4 year old 5D MK2.
that´s not great... that is FINE in my eyes.
remember they had 4 years to make a better camera/sensor.
but i don´t see a improvement in low iso.. not from these samples.
RedFox: 1/8000 is a necessity when you are using anything under f/4 on a sunny day.
Go out when bright and sunny set ISO at 100 and apperture at f/2.8 and see yourself.
maybe he don´t own something faster then f2.8 .....
@Gothmoth, I own a 5d mk2 and the low iso quality of it is excellent, there is very little need for improvement, If you know what you are doing and can manage to nail exposure. More dynamic range would be nice if you don't of course, but compared to what photographers have had in the past ie. slide film, we have it pretty good!
@Der Steppenwolf. I've shot wide open at f1.4 on a sunny day in the middle of an Australian summer with a camera that has a maximum shutter speed of 1000th of a second. With all due respect, this is a "non problem" easily fixed, with a polarising or neutral density filter.
@ leichhardt
With a ND filter??? If not, then I call bullcrap on that. Plain and simple.
@Combatmedic870. yes, ND stands for neutral density in case you didn't know. :)
It's harder to make a fast shutter for a full frame sensor; simply because there is more area to cover. The d600 and 6D likely have shutters with velocities just as fast as "lesser" APS-C cameras, but since they have a larger sensor to cover, they can't reach 1/8000. Full frame camera with 1/8000 shutters need higher speeds, and thus cost more.
yeah well so you need a ND filter and 4 postings above it was said nobody needs 1/8000...
i rather have 1/8000 build in the camera then carriyng a ND filter all the time in case i need it. LOL
@Gothmoth If you find carrying a 30 gram filter around with you so much of an effort, you are probably more in need of a gym membership than anything else.
Strong AA filter detected.
The relative softness @ 100% is most likely a result of the JPEG engine than anything else. Canon RAWs tend to be quite a bit better than this when it comes to pixel level sharpness.
The noise is very low indeed but so is the detail. I know that jpegs are a horrible interpretation of the cameras potential but to me these look like the NR is very heavy.. I am looking at these on a cheap monitor which may be the problem
no it´s not your monitor.. detail sucks on these images.
I would dare say the lack of detail is cause by the lack of sharpness . Outlines are all rather soft making the sense of detail to be low.
These are Jpegs - so they don't tell us much. But the lack of sharpness is incredible. Nikon's sensor is far far better - no contest.
Lets wait for raw though.......
I have seen some sample image. Nice and sharp images but only major let down to me is LACK of dynamic range. I am sorry to say that but it disappointed me a lot. Sony, Pentax and Nikon has been ahead of Canon for long time particular for dynamic range and colours. Come on hurry up Canon you gonna catch up before you spiral down to the dead end. Or buy Sony sensor instead. lol Nikon and Pentax bought Sony sensor. So...? Be wary of poor dynamic range, try increase shadow to reveal shadow and the noise start to appear. Thats the biggest problem. If you wanna reveal better pic from Canon 6D take some RAW image and post process with Adobe Engine or Capture one engine it will come out much better than in camera jpeg processing. Both Adobe and Capture One raw edit open up more dynamic range much better.

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

I'd like to pursue a topic that has come up elsewhere (at the link below, in discussions on celibacy, and so on).
What kinds of renunciation must a serious student of Dharma engage in? How does renunciation vary by tradition in practical ways? What forms of renunciation are appropriate to monks & nuns, and laymen and laywomen? How is renunciation understood, how is it practiced, for what purpose, and in what contexts?
Whaddya think, folks?

What Do Ya Know. Joe?
With the Senate race here in Wisconsin, there really is no need to take an interest in a Senate race in Pennsylvania. There's not much excitement going on with the race here, so why is Pennsylvania important?
Senator Arlen Specter, one-time Democrat, longtime Republican, and newly converted Democrat again, changed parties to save one job-his. Well, it didn't work. Specter was in the Senate for about 30 years, and in the Senate, seniority is everything. Specter could bring home the bacon for Pennsylvania, so keeping him in the Senate would have been in the best interest for the citizens of Pennsylvania. Here in Wisconsin, it doesn't matter because no senator brings home anything. But that's another story.
Barry's In Charge Here
A couple of weeks ago, it looked like the Obama administration was not taking charge of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But recently, President Obama came out and said that he was in charge and the buck stops with him. At first, I found that hard to believe. But after some reflection and looking at the facts, I can now see that the Obama administration was in charge from day one. As they say, the proof is in the pudding. Let's take a look at that pudding.
The oil has been gushing nonstop since at least April 20. There is then chaos and confusion as to how to stop it fast and efficiently. This is certainly the thumbprint of the Obama administration and its agility. Every effort to control this spill has failed. Every idea has been wrong. Sounds like the federal government to me.
Crisis Mismanagement
We are closing in on the second month of having crude oil gush from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. This is then called the worst oil spill in American history. It is also working towards another worst-worst managed crisis in American history.
BP is being blamed for the entire spill. I'm certainly not here to defend them because I do not have a stake in the outcome. However, the way the Obama administration is handling this crisis is equally shameful. In every rate of history, resident Obama claims that he has been on the scene since day one. Looking at the results, the statement could almost be true. Every success failed, every idea has been wrong. And if President Obama believes that government is the answer to this problem, well then let's hold him accountable too.
What About Bob?
In true progressive form, we can apply a double standard and feel good about it. Because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we have a common hate: BP. And through this common hate, we can publicly extort, shakedown, and make hateful statements about this company and feel good about it. It's practically patriotic.
Even though President Barrack Obama, has claimed responsibility for the cleanup and stopping of the oil spill, it continues. And because President Obama has publicly acknowledged that he cannot do anything about it, the best thing to do is to create a diversion. Even though President Obama has said that he will not rest until every one wants a job will find one, the Gulf of Mexico is cleaned up and restored, (your subject here), etc., President Obama has found time to hold a private concert in the White House, take a vacation to Chicago, play round after round of golf, etc., the mainstream media has absolutely no problem with this. They say Obama need some down time even as president.
The Summer of Joe
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico clearly out of hand, the Obama administration is creating a diversion to hopefully get that failure of policy out of the headlines. Showing that the Obama administration has a thirst for controlling the message of the media like Pravda did for the Soviet Union, the administration came out with a propaganda piece called the Recovery Summer. What a pile of crap this is.
The only person in the administration who can come out with a straight face and talk about how well the stimulus act as word is Joe Biden. From time to time he comes out and tells how well the recovery act has done in bringing us all of the recession. Biden breaks about how many jobs the administration has created. And we can't forget that bogus number of them all; the number of jobs saved. Just about a year and a half ago, the Obama administration promised the American people that the unemployment rate would not go above 8% if they pass the recovery act. Well, we committed to spending over $862 billion in the unemployment rate has been above 8% entire time. That's even counting the temporary jobs for the census workers several times over. Perhaps Congress will be generous enough to pass a bill making these temporary jobs permanent. After all, they can be union jobs and they can count how many people are joining unions. It just seems right for America.
The Level of Stupidity in Government
Peggy West is a big fat idiot. And I say that with the endearment and admiration that Joe Biden often displays. Isn't it great when we can take a phrase from another great Democrat-Al Franken-and paraphrase it into a situation that is relevant today. Only liberals don't like it when you use their own logic against them. I won't spend a lot of time examining the statement that she made, I'll let others do that. But the fact that someone would say it's and believe it at the time it is simply astonishing.
This is clearly indicative of what's wrong with politics today. People are in office-usually liberals and progressives-that are just plain dumb. They take positions and make statements about things that are just plain ignorant and yet they believe they are right. But Arizona law is a perfect example. People don't know what's in it, they just know they're against it. People wouldn't even know that they had laws in Arizona if the left wing media would not come out and say that they are bad laws. Not having read them, people take the position that they know what they are talking about. Unfortunately, there are many people like this in America today. I guess that explains why President Obama still has a 45% approval rating.

Memphis >Food & Dining > Cupboard
1400 Union Ave, Memphis, TN | Directions 3810435.136882 -90.015151
Mon. - Sun. 7am - 8pm
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Central
Cupboard Restaurant – I've found the food to be good most of the time, but sometimes it is not that good. Too much garlic on Italian Spinach makes it hard to eat. The baked catfish is pickled with salt...sometimes dry and very tough. The yeast rolls and cornbread are very good. Northern Beans are sometimes good and other times it's just mush floating in soupy liquid. I never know what to expect because they are inconsistent in the quality of the food.
Never again! – Our waiter, a flamboyant male, was conversing with a friend of his less than 5 feet from our table. He was discussing a sexual experience and laughing. When we complained to the manager, they didn't seem to find it that unusual or disturbing. He was "talked to." At least 2 other tables overheard this grotesque conversation. Another server, a female, smelled like an ashtray. This was NOT a family restaurant and we will never spend our money there again.
Simply the Best – I am a southerner born and raised. The food is very well seasoned but not spicy. I loved it and tried to eat there everyday during my stay in Memphis. I can't say enough about this place from the corn bread muffins to the corn pudding and chicken and stuffiing it was all wonderful.
Totally Over-Rated – It was o...k...
This was NOT the best homecooking that I've had. I tried them twice and I still came out with a puzzled look on my face. Just my opinion.
Get in line--people flock for the Southern-style specialties found at this Memphis mainstay. – The Scene
This ever-popular restaurant has been around since 1943, but changed digs in 2000, moving to an old Shoney's a few blocks away. The dining room is larger, service is still friendly and parking isn't a problem, but even with the big space, people line up just about every night to get their hands on Southern, home-style grub.
The Food
Garden-fresh vegetables, cold iced tea and homemade breads are just some of the reasons to go. Choose from entr?e specials like catfish, thick slices of ham and moist fried chicken. You'll find heaping plates of purple hull peas, candied yams, seasoned turnip greens or tender-crisp snap beans. The fried green tomatoes are crispy with just enough salt and pepper and the creamy macaroni and cheese is a must.
Just like Mama's – What can I say? I'm a Southerner, born and raised, and I know home cooking when I have. The fried chicken alone is worth visiting for.
Good Country Cookin' – Just like Grandmas cooking. Pick a meat (fried chicken if you're smart,) then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and fresh bread. Creamed corn, collard greens, and other southern standbys will bring a tear to your eye. Just dont forget the sweet tea. I havent been since it changed locations, but I imagine its just as good. Try it. Youll be back.

Personal financial advisors give financial advice to people. They help with investments, taxes, and insurance decisions. Most financial advisors work in the finance and insurance industry or are self-employed. They typically work full time and may meet with clients in the evenings or on weekends.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Financial advisors assess the financial needs of individuals and help them with investments (such as stocks and bonds), tax laws, and insurance decisions. They help clients plan for short-term and long-term goals, such as education expenses and retirement. They recommend investments to match the clients' goals. They invest clients' money based on the clients' decisions. Many also provide tax advice or sell insurance. In determining an investment portfolio for a client, they must be able to take into account a range of information, including economic trends, regulatory changes, and the client's comfort with risky decisions. A major part of a financial advisor's job is making clients feel comfortable. They must establish trust with clients and respond well to their questions and concerns.
Personal financial advisors typically do the following:
Although most financial advisors offer advice on a wide range of topics, some specialize in areas such as retirement or risk management (evaluating how willing the investor is to take chances, and adjusting investments accordingly).
Many spend a great deal of time marketing their services, and they meet potential clients by giving seminars or through business and social networking.
After they have invested funds for a client, they, as well as the client, get regular reports of the investments. They monitor the client's investments and usually meet with each client at least once a year to update him/her on potential investments and to adjust the financial plan because of the client's changed circumstances or because investment options have changed.
Many financial advisors are licensed to directly buy and sell financial products, such as stocks, bonds, annuities, and insurance. Depending on the agreement they have with their clients, advisors may have the clients' permission to make decisions about buying and selling stocks and bonds.
Most financial advisors work full time, and 24% work more than 50 hours per week. They often go to meetings on evenings and weekends to meet with existing clients or to try to bring in new ones.
Private bankers or wealth managers are personal financial advisors who work for people who have a lot of money to invest. These clients are similar to institutional investors (commonly companies or organizations), and they approach investing differently from the general public. Private bankers manage a collection of investments, called a portfolio, for these clients by using the resources of the bank, including teams of financial analysts, accountants, and other professionals.
Financial advisors typically need a bachelor's degree. A master's degree and certification can improve chances for advancement in the occupation. Although employers usually do not require a specific field of study, a degree in finance, economics, accounting, business, mathematics, or law is good preparation for this occupation. Courses in investments, taxes, estate planning, and risk management are also helpful. Programs in financial planning are becoming more available in colleges and universities.
Financial advisors who directly buy or sell stocks, bonds, insurance policies, or specific investment advice need a combination of licenses that varies based upon the products they sell. In addition to those licenses, smaller firms that manage clients' investments must be registered with government regulators, and larger firms must be registered with whatever federal government agency regulates these services.
Financial advisors should be good at mathematics because they constantly work with numbers. They determine the amount invested, how that amount has grown or shrunk over time, and how a portfolio is distributed among different investments.
Financial advisors typically work in offices. Almost one-fourth of such advisors were self-employed in 2010. Many also travel to attend conferences or teach finance classes in the evening to bring in more clients. Most advisors work full time, and 24% work more than 50 hours per week. They often go to meetings in the evenings and on weekends to meet with existing clients or to try to bring in new ones.
The median annual wage of financial advisors was $64,750 in May 2010. (The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less.) The lowest 10% earned less than $32,660, and the top 10% earned more than $166,400.
Financial advisors who work for financial services firms are often paid a salary plus bonuses. Advisors typically earn their money by charging a percentage of the clients' assets that they manage. They may also earn money by charging an hourly fee or by getting fees on stock and insurance purchases. In addition to their fees, advisors generally get commissions for financial products that they sell.

Location: Arcata
On 04-24-2013, approximately 10:00 a.m. Humboldt County Sheriffs Office Deputies assisted by Arcata Police and Humboldt State University Police served a Humboldt County Superior Court Search Warrant on the residence of Eric Eugene Lundin located in the 1100 block of G Street, Arcata. When deputies searched the residence they located a .22 caliber rifle and large quantities of ammunition that matched the weapons seized from Lundin the previous day. They also located items supporting Lundin is a member of the Mongols Motorcycle gang, along with other evidence supporting the crime victim's statement to deputies. Additional weapons charges will be requested against Lundin.
On 04-22-2013, approximately 11:55 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was notified of possible kidnapping victim being treated at a local hospital emergency room. A deputy respond responded to the hospital and met with the 63 year old female victim. She told the deputy she was home alone at approximately 8:00 p.m., on 04-22-2013 at her residence in the 2500 block of Central Avenue, McKinleyville when she heard a knock at the door. She opened the door and Eric Eugene Lundin,
63 years old from Arcata, grabbed her by the neck and pushed his way into the residence. He began shouting at her accusing her son of stealing marijuana from him as he shoved her backwards. He made her sit on the couch in the living room of her residence as he continued shouting at her. He then removed two handguns from his pockets. One handgun was a silver colored semi-automatic handgun and the other was a black semi-automatic handgun. He set the guns on the coffee table in front of her and then removed a pill bottle from his pocket and ordered her to take three pills which he gave her. He told her the pills were Methadone and it was the easiest way to make her overdose. He repeatedly told her she was going to die, while also stating several times he was a member of the Mongols motorcycle gang and they do not leave witnesses. After the victim took some pills he placed the black semi-auto handgun to her temple and told her to call her adult son and have him come home. Lundin then stuck her television with the handgun breaking the screen and grabbed her cell phone and threw it across the room, destroying it. He ordered her into his pick up truck parked in front of her residence. Lundin drove the victim around from McKinleyville to Arcata while telling the victim all the places he could hide her body. He eventually dropped the victim back off in front of her home and told her he only wanted to scare her.
A be-on-the lookout was placed for Lundin to area law enforcement agencies. Arcata Police located Lundin at his residence in Arcata in the 1100 block of G Street, Arcata. He was arrested at the residence for kidnapping, assault, brandishing of a firearm, burglary, being a convicted felon in possession of firearms, administering drugs to commit a felony, vandalism and transportation and possession of a controlled substance. Deputies also recovered two loaded semi-automatic handguns. He was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional facility where he was booked and his bail was set at $100,000.00
The victim was admitted to the hospital.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff's Tip Line 707-268-2539.
